"Many Photos" - Michelle Carter is taken into custody to start her 15 month sentence

A Massachusetts woman who sent her suicidal boyfriend a barrage of text messages urging him to kill himself has been taken into custody to start her 15-month prison sentence nearly five years after he died. 


Michelle Carter, 22, was taken into custody on Monday after a top court last week upheld her manslaughter conviction in the 2014 death of her 18-year-old boyfriend Conrad Roy III.  


Carter was sentenced to 15 month in prison in 2017 after a judge ruled that she caused Roy's death after telling him to 'get back in' his truck that was filling with toxic gas after he told her he was scared.

The judge had allowed her to remain free while she appealed, but Massachusetts' highest court upheld her manslaughter conviction last week. 


Carter's lawyer had urged the judge to allow the young woman to stay out of jail while they take her case to the U.S. Supreme Court.  


Her attorneys said in court documents that she has no prior criminal record, hasn't tried to flee, and has been receiving mental health treatment.


But a judge ruled on Monday that she should start her sentence. 


Carter, who was sporting a new cropped hair cut, showed no discernible emotion as she was taken into custody but her shoulders did sag as she stood and prepared to be led away.


Earlier in the day, Massachusetts' highest court denied an emergency motion filed by her lawyers to keep her out of jail.


Carter was 17 when her 18-year-old boyfriend took his own life in Fairhaven, a town on Massachusetts' south coast in July 2014.

Her case garnered international attention and provided a disturbing look at teenage depression and suicide.


Carter and Roy both struggled with depression and Roy had previously tried to kill himself. 


They both lived in Massachusetts but met in Florida in 2012 while both were on vacation with their families. 


Their relationship consisted mainly of texting and other electronic communications.  

In dozens of text messages revealed during her sensational trial, Carter pushed Roy to end his life and chastised him when he hesitated. As Roy made excuses to put off his plans, her texts became more insistent.


'You keep pushing it off and say you'll do it but u never do. It's always gonna be that way if u don't take action,' Carter texted him he on the day he died.


'I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready - just do it babe,' she wrote.


'You're finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It's okay to be scared and it's normal. I mean, you're about to die,' Carter wrote in another.


But the juvenile court judge focused his guilty verdict on the fact that Carter told Roy over the phone to get back in his truck when it was filling with carbon monoxide. The judge said Carter had a duty to call the police or Roy's family, but instead listened on the phone as he died.

'After she convinced him to get back into the carbon monoxide filled truck, she did absolutely nothing to help him: she did not call for help or tell him to get out of the truck as she listened to him choke and die,' Supreme Judicial Court Justice Scott Kafker wrote in the court's opinion affirming her conviction.


At trial, Carter's lawyer argued Carter had initially tried to talk Roy out of suicide and encouraged him to get help. Her attorney said Roy was determined to kill himself and nothing Carter did could change that.


Her appellate attorneys said there was no evidence that Roy would have lived if Carter had called for help. They also argued there wasn't enough evidence to prove that Carter told Roy to get back in his truck.


Her phone call with Roy wasn't recorded, but prosecutors pointed to a rambling text that Carter sent to a friend two months later in which she said called Roy's death her fault and said she told Roy to 'get back in' the truck.


Daniel Marx, who argued the case before the Supreme Judicial Court, said last week that the court's ruling 'stretches the law to assign blame for a tragedy that was not a crime.'


'It has very troubling implications, for free speech, due process, and the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, that should concern us all,' he said.
